What will our Jupiler Pro League clubs do in the Champions League this week?

Our blog brings you all the latest updates from Europe’s most prestigious competition. This week, the Champions League returns for its third matchday, promising thrilling action on both Tuesday and Wednesday.

On your trusted Belgian online betting site, Golden Vegas Sport, all eyes are on the Jupiler Pro League representatives. Both will have a huge challenge ahead as they take on European giants.

That’s why this article looks at their key strengths and weaknesses — to help you place your bets wisely, whether online or in one of our physical betting shops.

Union: Hubert’s big debut

First came the euphoria — that impressive first victory at PSV Eindhoven. Then came the harsh reality, with a home defeat to Newcastle. For their Champions League debut, Union Saint-Gilloise have already been through all kinds of emotions.

And the Belgian champions won’t have time to breathe. This time, it’s mighty Inter Milan — second in Serie A and fresh from beating Roma away — who visit Lotto Park.

The Champions League runners-up are favourites. Especially since Union lost their coach, Sébastien Pocognoli, who left mid-season for Monaco. But David Hubert made a great start by beating Charleroi last weekend (3-1).

Can he pull off an upset in his Champions League baptism this Tuesday? One thing’s certain: bet live during the match for even more enticing odds and prove your instincts are spot on.

Brugge versus Kompany and his invincibles

If the Brussels side have a tough task ahead, it’s even tougher for Brugge. After impressing all of Europe by crushing Monaco in their Champions League opener, the Blauw en Zwart went quiet against Atalanta Bergamo.

And the challenge this Wednesday is huge: the Jan Breydel Stadion side will travel to Bayern Munich, where they’ll meet a familiar face — “Vince The Prince,” better known as Vincent Kompany.

There will be a clear Pro League flavour in this clash, a reminder of the old Club Brugge-Anderlecht duels. The problem for the “Venice of the North” side is that Bayern have been steamrolling their opponents at the start of this season, as Borussia Dortmund found out last weekend.

Simply put, the Rekordmeister have won all 11 of their games — almost unheard of. With this record, Bayern have matched Borussia Dortmund’s 2015/2016 start. Only Real Madrid’s 1968 run remains ahead of them. But can Belgium’s runners-up pull off a miracle in Munich?
